Imperial Stormtroopers, or Stormtroopers for short, or just Troopers for even shorter, were the nominally feared enforcers of the Galactic Empire in a galaxy a significant time ago and unbelievably, really far away. Known for their complex, useful and distinctive white body armor, as well as their impeccable, deadly accuracy with a zappy stick, stormtroopers were typically the first troops in, the first troops to get blasted, and the first troops to be medevaced from the combat zone. All stormtroopers, despite their service rank designators, were named Bro and enjoyed air hockey, Tang, going to brunch, and Archie comics; they find Darkhorse comics too violent. Although artificial wombs could be officers, the Galactic Senate still forbids women serving in any enlisted combat positions, in their non volunteer orphan slave army.

Little is known about the history of the stormtroopers, except they were cloned in the orphan factories of Kamino by the Kaminonannians to serve as the Grand Army of the Republic. Wait, that's more than a little. In fact, there's more. Okay, I was completely wrong - a fair amount is known about stormtroopers.

It sucks when your job get blown up... twice.

In those olden days of the Republic, they were called Clone Troopers and everyone loved them, even the Jedi. Well, droids didn't like them, because clone troopers tended to blow droids up. It was more of a love-hate thing, really, but the droids always came back in the end after they ate a tub of ice cream and had a good cry.

But then the Republic became the Empire, and clone troopers became stormtroopers, even though they were still clones and had very little to do with the weather. I don't know, maybe "storm" sounded more fearsome than "clone." Maybe George Lucas was really trying to drive home the symbolic connection between the Galactic Empire and Nazi Germany without really showing a space holocaust. For Christ's sake, this is Uncyclopedia. Clonetroopers aren't even real, it's 1 guy and CGI; the ones in porn are realer than that. Go play Super Bombad Racing or something, fanboy.

At some point in time the Nazis shamelessly stole all of the Stormtroopers' philosophies and genocidal tendencies. Scientists describe this as being "a pretty dick move."

Hmmm...Death Star blew up...not good, not good at all. Oh, the Mets won.

Stormtroopers fought in thousands of battles across the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, and their presence in battle was nothing if not distinctive. Former Rebel Alliance soldier Kyn Griggs, noted one such commonplace instance:

"You'd know it was them immediately. You'd be on guard duty, shooting the shit about where in town to find the best prostitutes, whatever, and then there'd be this muffled clinking. You could barely hear it, but you knew what it was. Then there would be this seething, shiny white mass in the distance, and suddenly the air would be thick with blaster bolts. They wouldn't hit anyone, of course, but it was pretty scary the first one or two times. You'd radio base, we'd start our retreat, and you'd just sort of take cover every now and then. Some guys would get hit, accidentally, I think, and then it was off to hyperspace for our next supposedly secret base. You know, I think if we actually stood and fought those guys, we might have won."

Another veteran said, "I really think the stormtroopers were made to look scarier than they really were", this veteran was quickly identified as Captain Obvious, and was later shot.

Stormtroopers, since they were completely and utterly loyal to the Empire for paychecks and Tang, were typically lead by the lowest-ranking graduates of the Imperial Officer Academy. As Moff Merkin famously scoffed,

"How competent an officer do you have to be to say, 'Hey, there are the Rebels, go get 'em?' I mean, really. Those knuckleheads could have been led by a piece of paper. Same color scheme, even."

There is precious little explanation how stormtroopers were adept at shooting the crap out of droids during the Clone Wars but woefully inept at shooting organic targets during the Galactic Civil War. Experts agree that the droids were not as adorable as a rogue smuggler, donut-haired princess, and fresh-faced farmboy, though adorability generally has little bearing on one's "shootability." Recently medical research points to the problem possibly stemming from a rare disorder called Stormtrooper syndrome. Certain theorists claim that because of this effect, the more stormtroopers, and more "good guys" there are, the less they can hit. Jedi are veritable death sentences.

Stormtroopers wear distinctive white armor which serves as awesome protection from anything except the most common weapons available to rebels, the laser...shooty...gun-thing (wait, is it really called the "blaster rifle"? Yeah, I think it's definitely it), and anyone that can throw a punch, or think they can. Its main purpose is for ceremonial stormtrooper sacrifices to bring rain to Tattooine. Victory in these traditional battles raises your status in the tribe and gets all the chicks before being brought to the Jedi for sacrifice to the force. The armour, despite being designed by the galaxy's top weapons manufacturers, had several fatal weaknesses: pointy sticks, rocks, tiny rocks and people who recognize the sad, sad futility in plastic armour.

Mrs. Stormtrooper proves that molded plastic boobs just don't do it for me. Nope.

In current American society, stormtroopers serve a far different role than they did in that galaxy a great big distance away in another, distant time. Instead of being feared jackbooted thugs, stormtroopers are outlets for hopeless sci-fi losers to grasp at the respect that has so far eluded them during the course of their normal lives, and to help add that authentic "fictional" flavor to Star Wars-themed events and product releases.

There are even rumors that real, grown-up adults who probably have never served in an actual military unit "serve" in various mock units made entirely of mock stormtroopers. Theories abound as to whether these men and women in white have any plans to battle Trekkies or assault Renaissance Festivals in force.

Of coarse as every fan boy knows female storm troopers are only a feminist and or sexual fantasy; they are non canon in any film ever since the even specialer edition made all talking stormroopers Jango Fett still. Kinda makes you wonder why they didn't notice Luke and Han sounded different and wearing different size armor. Come to think about most of the stormtroopers have different size armor, like they were played by actors instead of CGI.

Various units of stormtroopers served the Galactic Empire. Here are but a few:

501st Legion

Nicknamed "Vader's Fist," the 501st participated in countless battles as Darth Vader's personal legion. However, the unit was forced to roll up itscolors after the Battle of Endor, where the Ewoks unleashed a can of whup-ass. The 501st was seen crying back home to daddy Vader and grandpa Emperor. Those that survived the carnage of sticks and stones were force choked by a rather disappointed Vader. It is rumored that the embarrassing failure of the 501st is what Vader considered the last straw in his decision to die at the end of the Galactic Civil War.

Polish Legion

A group of Poles who were seriously lost after mugging the Doctor and screwing around with his TARDIS. The only regiment in the Imperial Army that actually got the job done, but were still hardly paid.

103rd Legion

The 103rd served admirably against the Rebellion but was completely wiped out by a tribe of small, fuzzy muppet-bears during the battle of Endor. The unit was re-activated outside the Cave of Caerbannog after the fall of the Empire and promptly slaughtered by a small, white rabbit with great pointy teeth and claws.

76th Legion

The mysterious 76th Legion occupied the planet of Onderon for two decades after the fall of the Empire before the population realized the 76th was made entirely of stormtrooper armor stuffed with straw.

The Oh Crap Legion was sent into every battle that the Empire stood even a considerable chance of victory, but where a win would be bad for the plot. Their weapons were torches covered with red cellophane (or is that cellophlane? Dammit! I can never remember!) and their armor was crafted carefully from sewer water, hence the name.

69th Legion

The only stormtrooper unit out there with aim. However, not the kind needed to fire a rifle.

Famous for using frog cannons to bombard enemy emplacements before landing troopers wearing armor made of hardened frog poo.

9th airborne Division

Famous for being a specialized unit to jump out of gunships. Designed with the intent to land safely in enemy territory. However, on their first deployment, they forgot their parachutes. The whole division died at Felucia.

7th Medical Battalion

Surgeons and doctors famous for setting up field hospitals in the middle of the battlefield. All killed in their first deployment.

6th Aerospace Battalion

A unit of clones all specially trained to pilot any vehicle and be the best in space ship to ship combat. Easily raped by droids on the ground.

3rd Fodder Battalion

Famous for their suicide death charges. Generally able to overwhelm enemy hard points in 2 minutes with maximum casualties. Largest battalion in the GAR and the stromtrooper corps.

9th Heavy Butt Assault battalion

Best used against organic hostiles because droids don't have butts. Their armor was specialized to inject lethal amounts of AIDS inducing viruses into victims. Most feared legion in the GAR by the Neimoidians with their slimy butt holes.

06thBattalion

The battalion best known for getting no action.

3rd Light infantry Battalion

They got to wear the lightest, crappiest and most unprotective armor in the GAR. They were the easiest to rape and the most incompetent. Special clones were assigned to the division.

12th Woodland Scout Division

The battalion famous for being trained exclusively in woodland and rural combat as well as guerrilla tactics and survival in the wilderness. The entire division was deployed on Endor during the Galactic Civil War. The division was slaughtered by the Ewoks during the Battle of Endor, since handling woodland critters is apparently not a part of Imperial training.

Medevac Legion

Since the stormtroopers have such crappy armor and weapons, this legion was frequently used to get stormtroopers to a location that it was safe for Vader to force choke them at.

22nd "Catch" Legion

Bunch of nasty jerks who used to work for Sirius Black Cybernetics. First to be up against the wall after the revolution. Their only weapons were vast amounts of paper work, and the deadly Logic gun that caused the victim to spend about ten seconds thinking about the title of the friken' book before moving on. Come on the Late Clone Commander Heller, you can do better than that!

49.5th Wheelchair Battalion

These are stormtroopers who managed to survive suicide missions and have survived wounds that have confined them to a heavily armed wheelchair. Their second chance at fighting in battle is usually their last chance to prove to Lord Vader their devotion to the Galactic Empire. Failure to live up to his will usually results in him throwing them out of their wheelchairs and laughing.
